The following updates to guild covenants have gone live:

- Guild favours across a covenant now have full effect, so long as the
recipient is under rank 5.
- GUILD <SKILLS|INVENTORY|SCORE> now work across a covenant, so long as
the target is under rank 5.
- GUILD LEDGER <FIND|SUMMON|TELEPORT> now work across a covenant.
- RESCUE now works across a covenant.
- Covenant members now count for guild rites.
- GHELP files can be shared across a covenant, by appending the letters
"cov" to the file name.*

* The file will be updated in both guilds each time an edit is made.
Pre-existing files (either before this change was implemented, or before
a covenant is made) are not affected until the file is edited by one of
the guilds. Dissolving a covenant will not remove these files, though
they will no longer be kept in sync with future updates.
